Where do you get off saying that? I’ve been a Catholic for 40 years - my family has been Catholic for 200 years - and none of them were sheep. I get so sick of the anti-Catholicism on FR. It is mindless and endless.
I grew up with Catholic family members. My dad’s 2nd family was Polish Catholic. I planned to be a priest.
I know whereof I speak.
Of course there was a remnant who did not followmRome’s every whim of opinion. Your family was one of the non-sheep families, but you must admit that there were far more who were sheep.
